Half-Mile Racing: GT500 vs Z06s

[Turbo98GT]

I'll preface this with the fact that I have a lot of friends with Z06s and a lot of my friends think they can/could beat my car. The last race was the closest with the Z06 being at 640rwhp on MS109 and 3200lbs race weight.

At 4120+ lbs race weight (no idea why I had a full tank of fuel lol), I did some work on them. Our gearing is absolutely perfect for the 1/2 mile. I end up going 165mph towards to end of the day which was the top of 4th.

Enjoy!

Badass! I had a silver Z06 just like the last one you raced, but it was stock. I know how hard those cars pull and I love my Shelby more! Nice video.

 

[99SSls1]

Nice

 

[GotHemi?]

Awesome videos and strong Shelby!! So he was a 1000lbs lighter and you had 100 rwhp on him. Worked out just as it should imo.

Crazy how big of a difference there was between the two hci Z's...

Way to go Justin!!!

Nice kills Justin, your GT500 runs damn strong, I had a blast at my half event last week and yes the 13/14 GT500s are perfect for half mile event.

The timing equipment wasn't working for most of the morning but once it got working I was doing 154 to 156mph, but I'm making 683WHP right now.

For reference, what does a stock car trap in the 1/2 mile? I know in the mile they trap around 174mph.

Great kills

 

[09Troublemaker]

Nice runs!

 

[ponyboyisaac]

Awesome

I would guess a stock 13/14 would trap around 144 to 147, although I could be wrong. All I can say is I can't wait for the next one.

Awesome vids that looks like fun.
Love the color too, makes me think I'm watching my own car

So how does that start work? Roll up to the start cone at a certain speed?
I trapped 138mph in my car before the ported blower, 4th gear at 1/4 mile with some rpm left. Guessing I'd need 5th with the 4.10/29" combo.
Looks like fun.

You basically get rolling up to 40ish MPH than you pass the cones and hit it, till you pass the 2nd 2 cones. With your car having 4.10s than ya will definitely be in 5th. If you want to do half mile events you will want 3.31s

That looks like so much fun.
